No14 Wicklow Sonnet
A place in my heart – Wicklow my Eden
Garden of Ireland no words will suffice
On hill vale and glen creatures are feeding
Knowing this place on our earth has no price
Oh dear Poulaphouca where cool waters spill
Avoca’s green vale where kites soar on high
On Slaney the kingfisher dives in the still
And Bray head once wept as those said goodbye
McHugh O’Byrne’s mountains climb to the stars
St Kevin his birds in old Glendalough
Primrose and bluebell by Dargle’s sweet bars
Such joys can be seen each hour of the clock
Heaven is close when you see Glenmalure
Ecstasy pouring where dreamers endure.
Tom Clancy.
